Pens are ideal for anyone with arthritis or even for children
I’ve had arthritis for more than 30 years and within the past few years it has become more difficult to hold a pen or pencil. Then I found these easy-to-grip pens on Amazon that are perfect for anyone who is unable to hold a normal size pen. I love these pens and now my husband, who doesn’t have arthritis, has started using them. Really great product.

Great pens
I am suffering from carpal tunnel, tendonitis and arthritis! I have to write at work all day long and it's becoming very hard for me to hold a pen! These pens are so fat and write very well! Used it today and it helped with the pain and my hand wasn't tired! Love that they even send refills so I will never be out of one!!

Could use some improvements
This pen could use a few improvements. Like a little longer, it cramped my hand using it. And a slight bit narrower. I have carpal tunnel and thought these would be good pens to use, but a little too short and too round. Like the lanyard.

Works well for someone missing part of their hand.
The size was very good and it's easy to hold onto. Doesn't write well if it is on a slant. Really needs to be upright to write properly.

Trigger finger, right hand, two fingers and thumb.
I mention my physical challenges only because I assume that's why you are scouting for certain features. I had surgery on my left thumb and was pi* *ed when I started having problems with my right hand - and I am righty. It started in my right middle finger, and one lousy month later, my thumb. So dyi at home eased the symptoms, but six months later…it affected my ring finger and I can't get any non-surgical relief. My finger locks many times a day, and I have to "peel" it open with my other hand or whatever is available. I have to write, both at home and at work. My Mr. Pen wasn't thick enough and curling my hand around a pen and even silverware is causing intense pain and lock ups. These came in a 4 pack so I can keep in purse, at work and at home and are refillable. While I don't need the lanyard, they would be handy for many. The ink flows smoothly, isn't gloppy and doesn't skip. The thickness of the pen would address any number of physical impediments; besides mine. I like ballpoint best, but am fussy. Parker is my fav brand, and I miss them greatly, but I don't think I have sacrificed quality for these. Will buy again and gift when appropriate. (I'm recommending Oval 8 finger splints available on Amazon. I get nothing for this, but after MONTHS of searching high and low for something to immobilize my particular problem; found NOTHING like them elsewhere…a true god-send). I assume surgery is still in my future, but want to avoid as long as possible. After two hand surgeries; one carpal tunnel and one trigger release, I can attest to the fact that your hand will never be good as new...although pain might not be an issue, sometimes mobility is affected. I assume I will still require a specialty pen and I hope these will continue to be available.

Dried up ink so couldn't even complete a sentence
We ordered these pens for my elderly father. Got the package of five pens. He found them comfortable to hold, however none of the pens could write a complete sentence. The ink was dry and wouldn't flow continuously. Sad, because he lives in a retirement community and there was substantial interest in these pens from other residents. We'll order from another vendor.
